Types and pathogenesis of Retinal Detachment Disease
Sometimes only a part of the retina is detached that is called retinal tears that may lead to complete detachment. The retina is an important neurosensory tissue that lines at the two third posterior wall of the eye internally. It maintains equilibrium of visual components with the help of other structural and cellular structures including the central retina (macula) and centermost macula (fovea). The physiological, as well as anatomical procedures inside the attachment, are prevailed out it results in retinal separation (Gariano and Kim, 2004). The National Eye Institute has categorized retinal detachment disease in three categories based on their distinct pathogenesis:
Rhegmatogenous: This is the most common form of retinal detachment disease through which fluid enters the retina through a small retinal tear and induces pressure inside resulting in the separation of the retina from RPE which nourishes retina (Kuhn and Aylward, 2014) …show more content…
It is also caused by multiple visual system disorders like coloboma, retinoschisis, uveitis, lattice degeneration and retinopathy of prematurity. This problem can emerge at any stage from childhood to adulthood and elder age. Often the cause of retinal detachment is found associated with congenital malformations. According to epidemiologic data, it is suggested that the retinal detachment disease mostly affects the people above the age of 40. The gender-based difference is also evident, and men are more impacted than women. The ethnic inclination is also observed as whites are more prone to retinal detachment problem in comparison to African Americans (Schepens and Marden,
